Vintage Mother of Pearl Pig Charm

The History:

This vintage charm features a miniature pig carved from luminous white mother of pearl, with two small emeralds set into the face for its eyes. The carving captures the animal's distinctive features, including its pointed ears, rounded body, short legs, and curled tail. The natural iridescence of the mother of pearl gives the piece a subtle variation in color and sheen.

Pigs have a long history as symbols of good fortune, prosperity, and abundance, making them popular subjects for novelty charms and traditional lucky jewelry. Animal charms became especially fashionable during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when miniature representations of familiar creatures were worn on bracelets, watch chains, and necklaces. A simple jump ring allows the charm to be worn as a pendant or added to an existing collection.

This piece was originally made and sourced in England and shows wear consistent with age.

We recommend pairing this pendant with our Classic Gold Rolo Chain, Classic Silver Rolo Chain, Classic Slim Gold Omega Necklace, or Classic Small Gold Omega Necklace.
